Is it Webelos, Webelo or WEBELOES

The following comes from our friend Mike Walton http://www.settummanque.com who is alsoinvolved with the USScouts.org project.The BSA for the longest of time has said that when we talk about ONE Cub Scout inthe 4th/5th grade program, he is called a "WEBELOS" Cub Scout ("We-buh-los" or"Web-los"). And yeah, while a long time ago the acroymn (which is why it is spelled inALL CAPS like WEBELOS instead of combination ("Webelos") )meant "Wolf-Bear-Lion-Scout" with vowels in it to make it sound cool; it currently (since 1969) means"WE'll BE LOyal Scouts".In more recent BSA publications, however, the BSA kinda got away from what theysaid and started using "Webelos Cub Scouts" and "WEBELOS Scouts" in theirdescriptions -- which threw off a lot of Cub Scouters and WHOLE GANG FULLS of BoyScouters.See, Boy Scouts are called "Scouts"; WEBELOS Cub Scouts are "CubScouts." Going back above, when we talk about MORE THAN ONE WEBELOS CubScout, the BSA HAS BEEN USING "WEBELOS Cub Scouts".One WEBELOS Cub Scout. Not a "WEBELO" nor a "WEBLO". WEBELOS -- aWEBELOS Cub Scout.Mike was a WEBELOS Cub Scout.A group of WEBELOS Cub Scouts are "Cub Scouts" in the plural. WEBELOSdescribes what *kind* of Cub Scouts we are talking about, as in "A Den of WEBELOSCub Scouts". Mike was one of several WEBELOS Cub Scouts in Den Five, Pack 63.The emphasis should be on the word "Cub Scouts" -- because they are ALL CubScouts; NOT "Scouts".They don't get to carry that *title* -- Boy Scout – until they are IN A TROOP orregistered as a Lone Boy Scout.
